Summer has finally arrived in Seattle

I know some may find it shocking, but it is quite often beautifully sunny here in Seattle. It is especially nice (and noticeable) when you get to skip the stuffy gym in favor of a couple laps around Green Lake with a good friend and some sunscreen. :)

Happy Monday! :)

The Sweetest thing

In keeping with my goals for 2010, I have sent out little packages and handmade cards to 10 friends and family members for both January and February and plan to work on March this weekend!
Though we are only two/three months into the year, I really have loved this experience.  The goal to 'give a little more love' and send out cards each month has pushed me a little to make time for artwork, and I have  reconnected with two friends that I may have otherwise lost touch with.  Even better - my friend Jen has decided to send me a package containing an exotic food item once a month in response!  Everyone loves getting mail and especially presents in the mail, but this was such a nice surprise! 
Does anyone know of a good recipe for something containing guava paste?  :)
Hope you guys have had an equally exciting week!  :)
